The grant is a renewal of a Title I grant received last year which allowed Mars Hill to establish the Learning In stitute for Elders (LIFE) at the Mars Hill and Brevard campuses; the Taking Oppor tunities to Aging Learners (TOTAL) program in Madison, Buncombe, Hender son and Transylvania coun ties; and the Senior Awareness and Growth Ex perience (SAGE) program which is operated by Land of Sky.

Since 1966, Title I has received $104,935 in funds for continuing education and community service in Western North Carolina. The LIFE program involves on -campus non-credit courses on the Mare Hill and Brevard College campuses during the spring, fall and summer. The courses are organized around the participant's interest as expressed in questionnaires distributed by the LIFE Ad visory Committee. The courses include field trips, theatre tours, special discus sion groups and cross generational lunches in the colleges' cafeterias.

The non-credit courses range from Art Appreciation to Adjustment to Retirement and specific subjects as recommended by the par ticipants through an Educa tional Interest Survey distributed by an Education Advisory Committee.

In addition to the offering of classes and other interest ac tivities, the college and its Education Advisory Commit tee are in the process of com piling a list of retirees who will serve as resource persons for various educational activities in the area.
